1.) Safety Rules & Protocols-
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation and use. Using it with
caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. If you have any
questions relative to the installation and operation, do not use the equipment until you have
contacted your supplying distributor. Read carefully before operating the machine.
1.) Keep the working area clean and be sure adequate lighting is available.
2.) Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces, or ornaments. Wear face, eye,
respiratory and body protection devices as indicated for the operation or environment.
3.) Be sure that the power is disconnected from the machine before tools are serviced or an
attachment is to be fitted or removed.
4.) Never leave the machine with the power on.
5.) Do not use dull, gummy or cracked cutting tools. 6. Be sure that the keys and adjusting
wrenches have been removed and all the nuts and bolts are secured.

Safety Instructions for Use-
INTRODUCTION-
Read this chapter on safety and the sections of vendor components manuals on safety before
beginning to operate the Laguna Tools Plasma Level 2 Cutting Table.
Do not become complacent about safety or completely dependent on safety devices.
SUPERVISORS: It is very important that a safe and appropriate working environment is provided
for this equipment and in compliance with applicable federal and local industry standards.
It is imperative that programmers, machine operators and maintenance personnel be trained
adequately in the use and care of the equipment. These employees should receive the proper
instruction to have a complete understanding of the operation of this machine before beginning
to program, operate or service it.
Careful programming and debugging of new programs are essential for successful operation of
this machine. Use program Stop Codes to stop machine motion for operator removal of parts or
scrap.
Never allow operators to place any part of their body into the machine while the machine is
active. Ensure that all personnel understand the function and use of “EMERGENCY STOP” and
“CYCLE STOP Button”.

5
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL-
Only qualified personnel should make repairs on this equipment. Use caution and follow
procedures when working on the machine. Be sure to observe the following guidelines:
1.) Before performing maintenance or repair, turn the power OFF and follow lock out/tag out
(zero energy shutdown) procedures. Also, follow any lock out/tag out procedures applicable to
your specific plant requirements.
2.) Wear safety glasses and other personal protective equipment as required by applicable
federal, local industry, and plant safety program standards.
3.) Wear proper clothing. Do not wear watches, rings, jewelry, or loose-fitting clothes.
4.) Read and review the manual carefully.
5.) Be familiar with the operation of the machine.
6.) Practice preventative maintenance. Inspect the equipment regularly and repair or replace
worn components and tooling. Read the vendor components manuals for any additional
preventative maintenance.
7.) Always replace safety guards and other safety devices removed for service and make sure that
they are fully functional before operating the equipment.

6
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL (Cont’d.)-
8.) Never remove, jumper out or bypass a safety device to permit machine production.
9.) Never place yourself in a hazardous situation to observe a problem and ask someone else to
operate the machine. This could be a very dangerous and life-threatening situation.
OPERATOR-
This equipment has been designed with operator safety in mind (when used under normal
operating conditions). The user must always be alert to the possibility of dangerous situations.
Always exercise care and caution. Report any minor problems immediately, so that they can be
corrected before becoming major difficulties. Only qualified personnel should make repairs on the
machine.
1.) Be familiar with the machine. Read and review the manuals carefully.
2.) Be Alert! about the significance of the various warning indicators and be conscious of the
functions of pushbuttons and other controls. Use the controls properly. Review and understand
the operation of the EMERGENCY STOP function and the CYCLE STOP function.
3.) Never operate the equipment unless it is in good working order.
4.) Wear safety glasses and other personal protective equipment as required by applicable
federal, local industry and plant safety program standards.

7
OPERATOR (Cont’d.)-
5.) Wear proper clothing. Do not wear watches, rings, jewelry, or loose-fitting clothes.
6.) Avoid all moving parts of the machine or workpiece when setting up or operating the
equipment. Never reach into the machine while it is active. Use the “EMERGENCY STOP Button”
or the “CYCLE STOP Button” function to stop machine motion.
Never use the machine DWELL Time Code for parts removal or other operator intervention
activities that puts the operator in a hazardous position.
7.) Recognize and avoid unsafe operating conditions.
8.) Maintain a clean work area. Avoid accidents by keeping work areas clean and neat.
9.) Never leave the machine in an unsafe condition.
10.) Never leave a machine running unattended.
11.) Never remove or bypass safety devices.
12.) Report any unsafe conditions, personal injury, or machine problems immediately to your
appropriate supervisor(s) and safety manager(s). In case of personal injury notify Service
Department giving a brief description and date reported injury occurred. Never operate the
machine with someone within a hazardous area.

Plasma cutting equipment uses high open circuit voltages to initiate the plasma arc. Normal load
voltages are higher than experienced with other types of welding equipment. Extreme CAUTION
must be exercised when operating or servicing this equipment.

9
PERSONAL PROTECTION-
•Keep the operator’s body and clothing dry.
•Do not stand, sit, or lie in/on any wet surfaces when using this equipment.
•Never work in a damp or wet area without proper insulation against electric shock.
•Disconnect main power before servicing the torch, power supply or service connections to
the plasma arc system, or any part of the machine bed.
•Wear adequate personal equipment (overalls, gloves, safety boots etc.) when operating the
machine.
•Remove or secure articles of clothing, such as ties and loose sleeves, which may catch or be
drawn into moving machinery.

10
Eye Protection-
Medical treatment facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for immediate
treatment of flash burns to the eyes and skin.
It is recommended that the cutting area be prepared in such a way as to minimize the
reflection and transmission of ultra-violet radiation. Walls and other surface areas should be
painted in dark colors to reduce reflection. Protective screens or curtains may be installed to
avoid unnecessary ultra-violet transmission.
